lucky. so far as the law goes, is one of the easiest States ill the Union where 8 divorce may be had; yet Kentucky is not State that has been noted for the number of it's divorce cases. So are Delaware, Tennessee and Florida. Yet these States have never taken high rank among the notorious di- vorce States. There is not so close a con- nection between the stringency of the laws and the number of divorces as there is be- tween the temptations given to inconsistency in large cities and the number of divorces. Divorces have been more prevalent in San Francisco than anywhere else. There thera- tio of divorces to marriages in 1881 reached the amazing number of one divorce to every 5.78 marriages, largely exceeding the New England rate. The ratio of the two most populous counties of Minnesota increased in ten years in one of them from one divorce In 29.3 marriages to one in 22 9, and in the oth- CT, from one in 19 to one in 12 For six years the rate in Cook county, Chicago, has been one in every 9.5 marriages.

OIL VS. COAL.

There is railroad in southern Russia which uses no fuel but petroleum. Experi- ments with petroleum as a fuel have been made on the Pennsylvania railroad, and it has been found that there is no difficulty in "gstting up steam" with it. But it by no means follows, as the Railroad GBzette clear ly shows, that petroleum can be used as fuel by the railroads of this country.
 The trouble here is the cost of petroleum as compared with coal. One pound of oil will do the work of 14 pounds of coal. A ton of oil is equal to 61s barrels. When the cost of ton of coal is equal to 514 barrels of oil no money is saved by using oil, al though certain advantages are gained. Oil makes neither smoke nor cinders, and the freman's work is reduced to the manipula- tions of wheel which regulates the supply The price of 314 barrels of crude oil is now about $2, and if company must pay more than g per ton for coal, oil is the cheaper fuel, provided that crude oil is used. But reduced oil is preferred, and it's price is higher.
 If the railroads should take to using oil as a fuel it would not be as cheap as it is now. The Pennsylvania railroad alone burns, it is said, 5000 tons of coal day. At this rate the quantity of coal used in a year by one road would be equivalent to more than g., GOO, ,000 barrels of oil. This is about one third of the annual product of oil in the United States. If this company should sub stitute oil for coal throughout it's system the price of oil would inevitable rise until coal would be by far the cheaper fuel. It is es- timated that the entire annual supply of American oil would be exhausted by the rail roads of the United States in less than six months, if they should all burn oil instead of coal.
 In southern Russia the problem is more simple. On the road which is using oil as 8 fuel it appears that 563 pounds of oil were equal to 100 pounds of coal, ,and that the cost of moving 1000 car axles per verst was re- duced 46 per cent. by the change But coal was about $6. 70 per ton, while oil residuum was very cheap. In fact, it's cost in that re- zion depends almost entirely upon the cost transportation. At Baku, the place of pro- duction, the residuum is almost given away.
 It will thus be seen that while the use of oil as fuel may increase for 8 time in Russia there is no prospect of its extensive use here. It will not pay and that is enough.

The Personal Devil. IBurdette in the Brooklyn Eage.]

AO l uoA1oNe III Il p0ThOudl OofI1s BULL!
 Don't F don't know of any creature in the universe more given to personality than this same devil to whom you allude.
 I believe in demoniacal possession. I my self have seen men possessed with devils ex- ceedingly fierce. I have seen child which had dumb spirit. Why, I myself have been grieveusly vexed with devil. Not once, my son, but many times; not only twenty five years ago, but yesterday, possi- ply to-day; more than likely to morrow.
 Why, my boy, did you never get up in the morning with demon of ili-humor, of per versity, of hatefulness, in full possession of you? You feel strong, vigorous, we'll; your head doesn't ache; your vision is clear; your debts are paid; the day is bright, sunny, beautiful; nobody gives you a cross word; everybody in the dining room speaks pleas antly to sou as you come in, and the bitter, mean, wasping devil of perversity that has possession of you snarls out hateful answer the minute you open your lips to speak; makes you say something you never intended to say; puts into your mouth words that make your own heart ache, as your eyes see the lips that you love quiver with pain at your harshness.
 Have you never maintained surly, mean, cruel humor while a brave, loving face, look Ing up into your clouded brow, was cheeT1ly trying to cast out the evil spirit1 Have you never done some mean thing at which your
 better nature reyolted? Never been ill-tem- pered all day when you had no cause, no rea- son for it and were torturing yourself even
 as you tortured those whom you most dearly loved?
 An, yes; you have writhed in the clutches of these devils of perversity, obstinacy, i'll humor, unreasoning and unreasonable mean- ness, fercely crying out against the love that would cast out the evil spirits.
 But this, you say, is owing to physical and
 mental causes. The body is in ill-health, l and there is in the human organism an inte- grafton and coordination of different vital actions, which. There; that will do; al ! ways feel one coming into when I hear ] you talk in that way. Physical health has 1 nothing to do with it, because some of the greatest sufferers the world has ever known have been entirely free from this demonisc possession, while some of the meanest men ever knew have lived in perfect health to their eightieth year. Yon know yourself that when you feel that way you are pos sessed of devil.
 Do believe in him? My boy, it doesn't | make particle of difference whether man with the Jumping toothache" believes in I the toothache or not; he's got it; the tooth- ] ache is in possession just the same. And be- tween you and and the man named Legion | he acts for all the world as though he did be- lieve in it.

The Woman's Journal of Boston says that the women of Boston now pay taxes on more than $1O0, 1000, ,000, "but the criminal in the State prison and the baby in it's cradle have as much voice in the amount and use of the tax as have these intelligent owners of prop erty."
 Lightning sometimes works strangely. In Cape Colony, South Africa, shepherd drove flock of l, ,430 ewes up to small building, in which he took refuge from thunder storm. As the sheep crowded around the
 building it was struck by lightning, and 790 of them were killed outright. The shepherd escaped with 8 severe shock.
 A horse with eyeglasses is one of the at

 Mir. Charles H. Wheeler, first selectman of Norwalk, has mailed 8 circular letter of in- quiry to the boards of selectmen throughout the State. He wants precise information as to the total number of grade CT ossin9s in each town, the number created by the roads l in laying their tracks across already estab- lished highways. the number for whose ex- istence the town itself is responsible, etc. He also invites an expression of opinion as to what proportion of the expense of doing away with the grade crossings should fall upon the railroads, whether the town or State should pay the balance, and whether an extra session of the legislature is advisa- ble.
 The primative inhabitants of the noun | tain regions of Kentucky are queer people. Funerals are very important events with them, and in order to make them more inn pressive they try to have as many ministers
 as possible present. It is also said that hus-
 bands are in the habit of postponing the 1 funeral services of their first wives until 1 their second wives can attend. And mis- sionary tells of one man who was living with his third wife without ever having had any funeral services over his two former wives. | He gave as reason that his third wife might died at any time, and then he could have a
 grand triple funeral service for all three to-
 gether.
